FACT #1 - (FRENCH VERSION) Le serment d'allégeance qu'on doit faire avant d'obtenir la citoyenneté américaine:
"J'affirme par la présente, sur le serment, que je renonce et abjure, absolument et entièrement, à toutes les allégeances et fidélités à n'importe quel pays, prince, potentat, état ou souveraineté étranger, de laquelle ou desquels j'ai jusqu'ici été un sujet ou un citoyen ; que je soutiendrai et défendrai la constitution et les lois des Etats-Unis d'Amérique contre tous les ennemis, étranger et domestique ; que je soutiendrai la foi et l'allégeance vraies à la même chose ; Que je prendrai les armes au nom des Etats-Unis quand requis par la loi ; Que j'assurerai le service de non-combattant dans les forces armées des Etats-Unis quand requis par la loi ; Que j'effectuerai le travail d'importance nationale sous la direction civile quand requis par la loi ; Et cela j'ai prends librement cet engagement sans aucune limite morale ou but de m'évader ; Aidez-ainsi moi Dieu."

See! We are not on the same page. Haitians are poor. But, in their poverty, they value their dignity. Your view is like money can buy anything. Correct me if I am wrong, it is like you telling me that the Haitian Diaspora can buy “dual citizens

Linda, I am exploring and hope for a reconciled solution to the problem of our beloved brothers and sisters who had freely renounced all allegiance and fidelity to Haiti. We will find the solution through mutual respect, honesty and compassion.
